Ich komme nicht von hier
Ich komme nicht von hier (2006) was installed on opposite sides of the Rhine River during Art Basel 37 and related my experience of urban wildlife as artist-in-residence. In Switzerland, species are categorised and known, with signposts warning of regular sightings along the river walkways. In contrast, I felt that one is more likely to have informal and surprising encounters with nonhuman species in a less regimented environment.
I resided in Basel from April to June 2006, hosted by IAAB, the Christoph-Merian Stiftung and Pro-Helvetia.
